Nearly a year ago, I signed up with oDesk. I finally realized that I wanted to turn my freelance writing dreams into reality and also, I wanted money so I could feed myself and my cat. Last August, I wrote a post about making oDesk work for you, which continues to be my number one [...]
{Today, I am so honored to introduce you to Keri Lynn from Amazing Women in History. She’s a phenomenal writer, and one of the coolest women I’ve ever met (even if we’re only internet friends). We met over Reddit once, and she had written this amazing list of tips to increase your guest blogger count, [...]
In the food blogging world within which I am so happy to be a part, there are these popular things called “blog hops” and “linky parties.” It took me some time to figure out WHAT THE HECK they were, but I think I have enough knowledge now to pass on how they work! Let’s break [...]

Fortunately, you haven’t necessarily wasted your time or inflicted any harm to your blog. But, you very well might not be just about to reach [...]
Oh, youth. One mere year ago (well, on February 25, 2012), I registered my very first domain. It was a huge moment for me, and is the turning point in this online world I share with you. I had a tutoring business, an online tutoring business in fact, because I was sick of watching an [...]
I extend apologies to my grandmother for the foul language in this post’s title. Although I prefer to keep it G-Ma friendly, it’s the truth. I’m a giveaway asshole. A big, fat giveaway douchebag. I hold your giveaway to high standards, and won’t engage unless you do it exactly the right way. Unless the item [...]
Hello, bloggers! Welcome to the land of infinite snark. Today, I want to share with you the number one most important thing I’ve learned in building my blog. It’s got a scary name, so bear with me: backlinking. It’s okay. Don’t let those twinges of anxiety that say, “you will never understand this technical stuff,” [...]
Let me pause a moment in this writing foxhole to wipe the dust from my brow and share a bit of my experience with the HubPages Apprenticeship Program. You might remember this program from my previous post on why HubPages rocks for new writers. Although I totally believe that, I’m starting to feel less excited about [...]
